Hey Hun! Well done for having the strength to change your life for you. First time round I lost 4 stone in 8 weeks so it is totally possible. Just take it one day at a time and you'll be fine and at your goal weight in no time xx

So chuffed to lose 8.5lbs this week! Did lots of walking this weekend which obviously helped. Definitely made up for the 2 last week as well. How's every one else getting on? Big hugs!

Hi guys, I don't know about you, but I'm finding Sundays really tough. Despite doing a 10k walk this morning (WOW!!! :)) I have come home to the wonderful smells of Sunday dinner and am feeling a bit bleurghhh! I don't know if it's an association thing- Sundays are our 'family' day- good food...

I love incentives; they definitely help! I'm chief bridesmaid at my sister's wedding in April. The dress is here....I now just need to fit into it! Good luck everyone!

Hi Hetty, perfectly normal! I think some people are like, BOOM into ketosis and are fine and for others it takes longer. Both times, for me, it has taken until the 3rd week to really feel good but however long it does take, it's worth it! Good luck x

Hi Cat! Welcome back! There are lots of us who are 2nd and 3rd timers so you're not alone. I think lots of us feel daunted by the fact we've lost weight and gained it again. How great that you're happy and in a great relationship- lets now get those 5st back off! Good luck and keep us updated xxx

Hi, I think a bit of exercise is really important... As long as you are kind to your body and don't overdo it. The poor things are only on 400 cals so don't do too much. I'm walking and have an exercise bike.

Hey Natalie, Yeah I'm hoping that with totm behind me, I'll have better losses next Monday! Got about another 6.5 stone to lose! (Eeek!) but actually getting into a much better head space now (at last!) How are you doing? X

I know, it's so frustrating because the weight fell off the first time. Do you think our bodies have learnt? X

Well, 3rd weigh in today and a pathetic 2lb loss. I'm just so frustrated. I've been exercising; doing all the right things and I've only lost 2?! Arghhh! It IS totm so probably retaining a bit of water but still.... This diet is too tough to only lose 2! I know, overall, I've lost 18 and a...

Hey Pebbles! How are you? Good luck getting back on it! X

Hey Natalie, Just checking to see how you got on today? Hope weigh in went well for you? I'm trying to be on it for 12 weeks but am having a refeed over Valentine's! How about you? What about others? Hi Rhian! How are you? Good to have you here Xx

Hey guys, Well I had my 2nd WI today and lost 5.5lb making a total of 16.5 in the last two weeks. It's not that this is a paltry amount or anything (over a stone- whoop!) but I can't help comparing it to my first time around (17lbs in the first week and 8 in the second!) Given that I weighed...

Good luck guys! I've lost 5.5lbs this week. Not great for week 2 but I'm thinking it must be totm. Still, 16.5 in a fortnight isn't bad I suppose- I'm just being greedy! x

Hey Tom! Welcome back. Good to have another 2nd timer here! I think lots of us understand what it's like to be back after losing once and putting weight back on. So, good luck and I hope your first few weeks fly by! Luce

Hey Natalie! Good fhat there's a few of us! I found minimins such an amazing support network last time... It seems a bit quieter this time round but still people here to help gee us along. I find it really inspiring to see people who are weeks in and have had life-changing losses! Hope it will...

I will be your buddy! I'm in pretty much exactly your position... Did lt for 8 weeks 4 years ago... Lost 4 stone and then, you guessed it, it returned :-( Had a few failed attempts but this time I'm really determined! Good luck and I'll check in on here regularly to see how you're doing... If...

Hey, thanks for your reply. Saw my doctor yesterday who said I could come off my meds as blood sugar is so low on LT! *yey*

It cut me off! In terms of using the sticks for weight loss is it ok to get a darker colour? Also, what did people do in terms of meds? I'm on Metformin and have heard of people coming off meds. Is this in consultation with doctors or self-checking and adapting dosage? Would appreciate...

Hi guys, I don't know if any of you are diabetic but if so I could do with help. I'm using the ketostix which would normally be used to check all is well. This morning the reading is 0.8 which is in the 'danger' area. In terms of using the st

Thank you so much for posting! It's so good to know that there are people like yourself out there, succeeding and genuinely keeping the weight off! At times it can feel hopeless and insurmountable but you help GIVE hope so thank you!

Thanks guys- such a good feeling! Picked up a 5kg weight and wow... I'm glad that's no longer on my heart and joints! Onwards and downwards!!

Aw thank you so much! That's a real relief. My normal meds upset my stomach at the best of times so taking them with LT is even tougher. Great to know I can take Imodium etc if needed. Thanks for responding :-)

Guys!! 11lbs off! So chuffed! X

11lbs down! Oh yeahhhh!

Hi guys, I've been suffering with really awful diarrhoea... Can anyone tell me if it's ok to take Imodium? Thank you

Family are having steak and chips. I am hiding in the loo, in tears, wondering how I got to this point with my weight :-(

Good luck! Looks like there's a few of us starting out! In it together hey?!

First weigh in is Monday. Trying not to get my hopes up too much but a decent first loss would be wonderful. I've been 100% faithful to it so I can't NOT have lost.... I hope?!

Well done you! X

Hi Hun, Today has been slightly better than yesterday. Yesterday I felt like crawling into a pit and never coming out. Try not to get down about the pork chop- at least it was protein. Onwards and upwards tomorrow- just keep thinking about your goals. I just want to get the first weigh in out...

Oh my goodness! What incredible losses you have had! It's official- you're my thinspiration! Thank you for your support

Oh wow! Well done- you must feel elated!! That's inspired me to get through this weekend (1st weigh in is Monday!) Congratulations Hun xxx

Honk! Honk! Yey!

Hi Jeanette, Congratulations! How lovely that you've had a lovely boy! Yes, we can support each other here- even with amazing friends/husbands/family, nobody REALLY understands unless they're blitzing LT shakes three times a day! Xx

Hi all, I hope this chilly Thursday is treating you all well! I started LT on Mon- this is the 3rd time for me :-( The first time I lost 4 stone in 8 weeks but, as with many others, didn't change my life enough afterwards. My 2nd try was half-hearted and I wasn't in the right mindset at all...

Hi! I'm new too! Well, a repeat user actually. I'm on day 4 and struggling. It's great knowing there's support on here. I did it for 8 weeks, 4 years ago before falling off the wagon. Like you, I have a lot to loss (7-8 stone!) but we can only do it one day at a time! Here's to this time being...
